Hongkong,
20th November 1906.
I beg to remind you that on many occasions the Committee of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce has felt constrained to direct the attention of His Majesty's Government to the great loss and hindrance occasioned to trade by the prevalence of piracy in the waterways of the neighbouring provinces of China.
As your Lordship is no doubt aware, yet another piratical attack was made on a British steamer on the 13th July last when the S.S. *Sainm* was boarded by pirates while between the towns of Kaukong and Samshit on the West River. The Commander of the vessel and several others were seriously wounded, some lives were lost, including Dr. Macdonald's, and a quantity of valuable property was carried off.
1.
The whole question has been dealt with very fully by the Foreign Office and we much appreciate the action taken by The Right Honourable The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, The Right Honourable The Earl of Elgin, K.G., with His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, LONDON.
